The place for scientists that like rocks and computers.
The Software Underground is a grass-roots community of subsurface professionals — academic and applied geologists, geophysicists, resource engineers, and others — who write code and use computers in their work.
The community started in 2014 as a slack group and has grown in scale and membership. In 2020, the Software Underground formally became a Professional Society registered as a non-profit organisation in Canada with the mission of supporting this community into the future.
Our members work across academia and industry in various industries including:
- Geoscience
- Oil & Energy
- Mining, Minerals, Metals
- Geothermal
The heart of Software Underground (aka SWUNG) is based around conversations and interactions in our slack discussion forum, events and hackathons.
